Clinical value of CT-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration for peritoneal lesions / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical procedural performance of CT-guided needle biopsy for peritoneal lesions.Methods CT-guided needle biopsy was performed in 84 consecutive patients (M F=26 58) with peritoneal lesions.Results Among 84 cases,60 lesions were malignant (55 metastatic tumor,4 mesothelioma,1 lymphoma) and 24 were benign (11 tuberculosis, 13 inflammation).3 cases failed to get clear pathologic diagnosis because of lost data.Diagnostic accuracy was 91.7% (77/84).The major complications were noted in 3 patients(1 with bleeding,2 ascites exosmosis).Conclusion CT-guided needle biopsy for retroperitoneal lesions is highly practical and useful,should be considered complementary in the investigation of abdominal lesions.
